firefox-3.0 libpr0n resizes images into works of abstract art

[William Pitcock]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Pornlib (the image operations library) in Firefox has a major regression in 3.0. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so see the attached screenshot for an understanding of what I'm talking about.

I believe I can confirm this, or something very similar. Looking at e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=604594 , at default zoom it appears fine, but when resizing images is performed (at non-default zoom), the image is either moved, or just a black rectangle is shown. I now think that a black rectangle is a symptom of the image moved outside of the view area, so this bug may be closely related to bug #182038.

Are you using the nv xorg driver? If yes, can you try installing the nvidia blob to see if this fixes the problem?

It does indeed seem to work correctly with the nvidia driver.

Marking as dupe. The two bugs have the problem and solution.
